In talks I’ve given recently about Writing for Publication, I have mentioned all the good work Helen Fallon is doing in support of WfP, especially the workshops she runs for library staff. Helen has a blog “for library staff who wish to write for academic publication. It aims to facilate discussion about writing and publishing, particularly in librarianship and related areas. It should also provide a forum for posting messages such as calls for papers and conference presentations”
Pat and I have also been talking about having a CoW, a Community of Writers, and perhaps Helen’s blog is one way of facilitating this kind of community for library staff who are keen to start writing.
